THE W HI REWIND
()vi-r more years than I care
to remember that I have been
writing this rnlumn, there have
always been two >ubjeets that
recur as circumstances dictate.
Those two are federal aid,
whether it be schools, munici
palities or whatever; and the
National Council of Churches
Many readeis thought I was
“nitpicking” because I could
see ominous trends in some
seemingly small action or pro
nouncement. “We can live with
that,” they said, not realizing
that by accepting the minor,
they were giving the powers
that be the go-ahead for further
and more drastic actions.
It is only in the past year or
so that many are beginning to
wake up and they are waking

Although the generai pub’s ic
is guilty of apathy m these
matter*-, foremost among the
guilty are those men of the
cloth who either deliberately
or ignorantly have misled
their eongregatiuns. Since the
beginning of America, the peo
ple have had faith that their
ministers could do no wrong.
This gullibility persisted until
finally it could be stomached

the lesson that a communist,

budget for
fiscal year
A budget of $1,540,105 for
general government and utility
operations for the next fiscal
year was adopted by city council
here Tuesday night.
The operational budget does
not include across-the-board pay
laises for city employees, but
contains funds for salary in
creases on the basis of service
and promotions.
The general government rev-
t nue estimated for the 1908-
09 fiscal year at $404,490 does
not meet budgeted expenditures
of $040,025.
Gity officials said profits of
$210,195 from the utility de
partment will lie transferred
to finance general government
operations to meet expenses.

Voters of the county will go
to the polls Tuesday to decide
winners of a run-off primary
for the offices of Newberry
Magistrate and Commissioner
District 2.
In the Commissioner race,
incumbent Ross George, who
led the ticket in the first pri
mary. will he opposed by Cus-
tis “Hump” Shealy who came
in second. Eliminated in that
contest in the first primary
were Harvey Lake and Hay
ward Eulm-T.
Enofficial returns placed
James O Zohel, loader in the
Magistrate for Newberry race,
and Alvin G. Hipp in the sec
ond race. However, the County
Democratic Executive commit
tee has received a protest ami
request for re-tally of l h e
votes from Thomas B. “Tom”
Berry who was eliminated by
the unofficial returns of the
first primary. The committee
will meet this (Thursday) at
10 a.m. to consider the pro
test, according to Pinckney N.
Abrams, chairman of the
county Democratic party.
Several questions were rais
ed by Mr. Perry in his
of protest to the county
man. H*

told council that transfer of u-
tility revenues in such large
amounts to support general gov
ernment services each year can
not continue.
He said some of the utility
profits should be returned to
help finance general govern
ment operations, hut some of
the profits also must lie used to
expand and update the present
utilities system or “we will he
unable to meet the demands of
our system”.

expenditures have nearly doubl

the margin between his near
est opponent’s total votes and
Perry’s total votes “was so
small that this request is war
ranted and justified,”
He pointed out that there
was some question of the val
idity of the votes that were
cast or not cast at Fail-view
box. He stated that some vot
ers at that box were instruct
ed not to vote for a candidate
for Newberry Magistrate; but
that when the votes were tab
ulated, tin' votes cast for that
office were ‘-ounted.
Mr. Perry pointed out that
m the precincts which vote foi
Newberry Magistrate, there
were 518 more votes cast in
the sheriff’s race, and 478
more votes cast in the house
race than were cast in t h e
Magistrate’s race.
He also told the county
chairman that at Ward 5, No.
2 precinct, one person who was
not an election manager was
deterred from helping a voter,
while another person, also not
a manager, was allowed to help
a voter cast a ballot.
Mr. Perry listed 2»i precincts
with the vote for House, Sher
iff and Magistrate, indicating
the difference in number of
ballots. For House there were
4713, for Sheriff, 4t>92 and for
Magistrate, 4235.
The executive committee to
day will determine the validity
of Mr. Perry’s protest.
The polls will be open on
June 25 at the same time and
places as in the first primary
and the same managers will
serve. All voters of the coun
ty are eligible to vote in the
Commissioner District 2 race,
since voting for each commis
sioner is now county-wide.
Only those in the Newberry
magisterial district will In
eligible to vote for the New
berry magistrate.
